Stephanie Ash will read from her surprising and unconventional new novel,The Annie Year, published by Unnamed Press. This is a special in-conversation event with local author Cate Dicharry. “In The Annie Year, Tandy Caide, sardonic CPA and pathological people-pleaser, enters the year of her reckoning, the year she starts making her own moral ledger. Like the mythological Annie—you know, the one who sings 'It’s a Hard Knock Life' but also 'Tomorrow'—Tandy has spunky charm and believable innocence. I read this mordantly funny book in one sitting, it's a fine novel with a main character you’ll miss once you’ve finished." —Debra Monroe
